Even more pathetic are the people who bought it, If they had took 2 seconds to search google for "HD2 Android" they would have an abundance of instructions for free.

Yeah You right

Yeah You right. This is not the place. But i have mentioned why i bought this thing here. Second! perhaps you don't care. But some people of XDA working hard to do this stuff for free. And someone selling their hard work for own interest. So may be they people have some serious care about this. I am sorry if i have offended you.

i agree that is really wrong!!! these instructions were given to all of us for free. and now its being sold off! i hope ebay bans the guy that is trying to make money off of piracy! i would report to ebay but its not my work being copied and sold.
xda should take action!

I reported it to eBay and also posted a question saying "This information is availabel for free at xda-developers.com", which will appear at the bottom of the page.

Questions only appear at bottom of page if the ebay seller chooses to put them there, not just when anybody asks a question.

Oh...... Fail. lol

I don't believe xda needs to care about..
--
People buying this on eBay are most probably not too tech savvy and this can have a positive aspect as well :
-redundant questions will be directed to the seller and not (again) in anew thread here
But if somebody feels bothered by this, the best way would be to pm the buyer with the link to the free rom, this will most probably lead to a bad seller rating on eBay..
I personally don't mind, if I can sell something for $ although it is available for free, I am a lucky person then (or the buyer not too bright)
Maybe I should sell some air in a jar,- have some around here..

Developers Continuum Phone

Forgive my reposting this in general, but my forum noobness wont allow a user with< 10 posts to post on dev pages.
I have seen a range of 250-400 for the Continuum on Ebay. I am willing to donate up to $50 towards a dev phone if I can be assured that the dev will consistantly continue work on this phone. I know it has potential and I myself have started studying Android programming, been messing in SDK and have a running Eclair phone emulator on my PC, but I don't have the history with linux and android to make anything of it yet.
If I get a dev's word that they will keep up on this phone, count me in for 50 bones towards one. (plus further donations if anything usefull comes along afterwords)
Thanks

cheap continuum
I just "converted" to the Continuum after buying it from a mass auction on eBay. $220 with free shipping; phone seems mint. Look up "*MINT* VERIZON SAMSUNG i400."
However it's procured, I'm willing to pitch in a few bucks for it. It's a neat piece of machinery, and with some tinkering it could be awesome. Shame I'm too dumb to be a developer.

Ok everyone, im going to purchase another continuum to send to adrynalyne and perhaps send my otherone to imnuts .... if i do this i hope everyone will pitch into my paypal to help me offset the cost. I just sent the email to the seller and hopefully i will have it tomorrow. I'll email adrynalyne and let him know that im planning on doing this.

Please send me the info in a PM and how much you you would like (up to the $50 I stated earlier) and I will send it along as soon as Adrynalyne confirms he has it. I have already sent a digital thanks, but thank you very much for doing this!

thanks EX , ok i went ahead, im picking up the phone tomorrow at 2pm. i havnt heard back from adrynalyne yet, but i dont want to wait incase they sell the phone.

It's too bad XDA is overrun with assholes. If you don't care he's leaving, then don't reply and his post will quickly fall the bottom and no one has to read it. Take your insecurities out on someone in real life; see how that works out for you.
G1-8701, peace out. Enjoy your new phone. Though, you should really check out the new Atrix 2. It's way underrated and the sleeper phone of the year (or couple months, whatever it turns out to be).

On so many levels, XDA used to be so much different. (AKA a lot friendlier)
The people trolling in threads and others retaliating with profanity is exactly why we are seeing more and more devs leaving.
We need to have more "community" going on around here. If you don't like a thread, please fight the urge to ignore it instead of getting into a flame war.
And on that note, can we please lock this up?...

Agreed. I tried making a thread to get people too come togther and acomplish something for the betterment of our device and of course same deal someone had too come in and run there mouth. I should have ignored him but spoke my mind and now my thread is closed. Come on people were all on here because we like our device not too argur and pick fights with people.

Anyone want to buy my tablet?

I have an acer Iconia a500 tablet. Currently bricked, but can be unbricked. I'm just sick of it, I don't feel like taking the time to unbrick it. PM me.

Hey, my Mom might be interested. But first. please post the offer to sell here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=476. I'm sure that you will be able to get an offer that will suit you there as well as more exposure to your post from folks that are in the market to buy.

Just remember, you buy-sell-trade at your own risk. XDA is not responsible for deals gone sour, and the Moderator Staff will not get involved.
Wanted to point that out. Mostly it seems the deals go ok. However, there are a couple of scam artists lurking around. Seems most folks know who they are.

Hehe, yeah. My sneaky plan involves a redirect to Ebay and/or a protected purchase using my CC if things get going over at the buy and sell forum. But thanks for the great advice!

So I'll ask the obvious question, why wouldn't you unbrick it before selling it?

I think he spelled it out quite clearly in the OP: "I'm just sick of it, I don't feel like taking the time to unbrick it"
Now obviously, he could likely get a higher price if it were unbricked, but to each his own I suppose...

**Discussion**: Root for ALL G3's

Let's just have all of our Rooting discussions for everybody here. This is for all variants of the G3 until we all have root
I'll try to keep track of, and find posts relating to the current status of Roots for ALL the G3's.
If you find some I miss that are pertinent, let me know. Or post them here and I'll put them in the OP

From autoprime:
guys.. my comment about sprint root was a joke to see how much interest there was in the root and see what kinda reactions there'd be.
BUT.. some of the guys working on this need g3 devices... for root.. for unlock... for future exploits down the road...
root for any unrooted G3's will come.. I can promise that. But.. it will most likely not be an update to ioroot specifically.. and I may not be the one to post...
SO..
the couple users who did donate for a future Sprint G3 root.. I will be refunding. But I do thank you for your enthusiasm. hold onto it and use it when root IS posted to ensure the G3 continues to see great work(moar r00t? moar unlox? moar hax? r0mz.. zzz). there is a great group of ppl poking at this.. but as i mentioned.. we all dont have G3's.. and some will have to buy out of pocket.. just for the sake of hacking and contributing to community. I think I've slept a total of 8 hrs the past 3 days(not complaining!).. trust me.. this is being looked at and worked on.
keep your eyes on our twitters... @ tylerfixer (iomonster/thecubed/insertnamehere) .. @ teamandirc (jcase) .. i dont think shelnutt2 or beaups use twitter.. and me @ utoprime
keep the assumptions to a minimum.. and please be patient(no not "months" patient)..
and who knows.. maybe someone new will step up and surprise us all.

That sucks I did see root access was working on an USA G3 but they did not tweet which variant.

T-Mobile didn't lock the bootloader, though. Shouldn't it be easy to install a custom recovery and root?

My only complaint with the device is no root for my Sprint model, and I think that's a good complaint to have because eventually it will come. Loving everything else, sans the aux cable issue.

I agree, that thread was getting rather annoying.

I agree, who needs threads anyway? /sarcasm.
I'm at work now, so I can't do anything useful for G3, just facilitating some stuff on IRC, and making stupid comments here on XDA
When I get home, I'm going to see if we can hit the SPR G3 hard.
After that, it's full steam ahead for unlocks. We've got a few ideas in mind, Shelnutt2 is getting his IDA disassembly refined so we can pick it to pieces. We might even be blessed with some help from toastcfh and beaups in the IDA department too!
We're definitely not going slow on this one, we're just gathering the troops!

Where's the best place to send donations? Monetary, no strings attached, so you guys can get whatever you need. I'm sick of bounties, I'd rather donate to make progress happen rather than after the fact.

Right now jcase needs some $$ to pick up a Sprint device - and I think he'd appreciate a few dollars towards a device. When we get an unlock together, I'll probably make a post and set up something so we can split the donations to everyone that contributed, so as to be fair.
Thanks!
EDIT: scratch that, jcase would rather not receive donations until we release something. Hold onto your money until we get a release put together then. Sorry for the confusion!

Thank you for the consideration, I can actually afford the phone and I don't like taking donations for things before I have published. I just need to find a reasonable priced phone for sale.

UGH when are we getting root? When are we getting unlocked bootloader? Come on, where are the ROMs people??
Kidding. I don't even have my device yet. I'll start the real complaining once I get it
Anyways, thanks for this thread, seems there's still a lot of confusion regarding bootloader/root for the different device variants.

Fair enough. My donation is with no strings attached. If you would prefer I wait until release, that's fine - or if there is another team member who needs a device, please let me know and I will send it there.
